Bc it known that l, EaNns'rN.l'luairnnnr, a citizen oit the UnitedStates, residing at New Britain, llartiord county, State of VConnecticut, have invented Certain newY and useful ln'iprovelnents inSa'lietylazors, ot which the following a tull, clear, and exactdescription. v My .invention relates safety razor construct-ion.

The. object ot' the invention is to provide an exceedingly simple andeo-inpaet. construction, the various parts being so arranged that amajority of the razor parts may be easily assembled or separated z, t,Will. In the drawings, li`igure l is a perspe=ctire view of `thecomplete device assembled ready for use. 2 is a relatively enlarged planrien' of the parts shown in Fig. Fig. 3 is a sect-ion on the line 3-3 ofFig. 2. Fig. 4 is a plan View of a detail of the traine plate. Fig. 5 aplan View et another detail of the guard plate. Fig. G

5 is a combined guard plate and blade support. The guard plate 5provided with guard iingers G-6 at the t'ront, edge and with plain facedstop shoulders 7*? at the rear edge. The end-edges of said plate 5 arenotched as at 8 8 to slide on the guide arms 3-3.

5)9 are forward stops on the plate 5 'arranged at each end ot the guardlingers l() is a blade which may be single or ldouble edged as'desired,said blade being ot appropriate width to stand between the` stopshoulders 1"*9 and otsuch length as to extend substantially over thefull length of the supporting plate 5 bet-Ween the.

ll is a handle which has a screw threaded arranged to selen' into 'thethreaded passage 2, the inner end ot' said extension l2 engaging theundersidevot' the supporting plate 5 to t'orce 'it upwardly sol as'toclanip the blade 10 betuf'een the plate 5 and the keepers if-1, as shownin ter securely with a tirin 'notched to slide on' l, 2, 3 and tl. The lably bent. downward'y o inain bed-y l so that is provided, thus pretebuckling tile blade and l" yet ela. n.. when the parts assembled. jrs iseen the handle t may be entirely re from the main body portion and thei @it the parts, thus making it easy to various parts of the razor insmall By proyniling the screw threaded ente l2, the plate 5 nay bepressed ag underside of the blade "with any degree of tension. vWhen thehandle unscrewed troni the Inair b L la G traine it is obgiois tha.' ttirely tree for inerenien" u* traine, a though not, entirely therefrom..Tnis releases the bla that it may be readily asseinbl versed.
